The star of Lord Of The Rings and Game Of Thrones is thought to have been quizzed by police over claims he sent abusive text messages and calls to his former wife, with the actor pictured entering a London police station yesterday.

According to the Daily Mirror, Bean had his fingerprints and DNA taken at Holborn police station before having a pre-arranged interview with officers, with the 53-year-old later released on bail.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said yesterday: ‘A 53-year-old man attended a central London police station by appointment today, where he was arrested and bailed pending further inquiries.

‘He was arrested on suspicion of harassment.’

Sutcliffe and Bean married in February 2008 before splitting two years later, with the judge granting a decree nisi in December 2010 on the grounds of ‘irreconcilable differences’.

Sutcliffe, currently appearing in the West End production of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap, was Sean’s fourth wife.

The Sheffield-born actor wed his teenage sweetheart Debra James when he was 21, but the pair split after he moved to London to study at Rada.

Bean was married to second wife Melanie Hill for seven years, with the couple having two children together.

He married his third wife, Sharpe co-star Abigail Cruttenden, in 1997.

Their daughter was born a year later but the marriage collapse shortly afterwards, with their divorce finalised in July 2000.
